Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron, who claimed in his UN General Assembly speech that "Hamas has never operated in the West Bank." According to Netanyahu, "The ridiculous absurdity of Emmanuel Macron's statement is astounding. On Sunday, the eve of Yom Kippur, just two days ago, Netanel Shaqaron—a French citizen and father of six—was murdered in his car by a Hamas terrorist in Judea and Samaria. With his last breath, he told his son to flee. Hamas terrorists carry out attacks against Jews almost daily. They have murdered countless Israeli civilians in Judea and Samaria. Ignorance is no excuse for erasing their blood."
